Motorists traveling along the R40 between White River and Hazyview are urged to exercise extreme caution due to a dangerous situation at the Big 5 petrol station. A truck, which appears to have experienced a brake fire, is currently positioned halfway across the road.

While the fire has reportedly been extinguished, the vehicle remains in a hazardous position, obstructing part of the roadway and posing a risk to oncoming traffic. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether recovery operations are underway.

Drivers are advised to slow down as they approach the area, remain alert, and consider alternative routes if possible until the obstruction is cleared. If you are in the area and haven’t yet done so, please report the incident to local emergency services to expedite the response.

Stay safe and vigilant on the roads.
